but we are, by treaty, the army of Japan.
they have a small defense force, but if they were to do anything most likely they'd want the US to do it. if NK nuked japan, the japanese would demand we nuke them, or invade. they don't have the millitary to do this. if we refuse, then they will be resentful at us for violating the treaty and would probably build up thier own military for a strike back. japan would revert to the imperialistic times of WWII |

NOrth Korea wouldn't nuke China because Bush mentioned that if he went into NK China would be on NK's side and the US would get screwed. I doubt NK will even use their nukes unless the US decides to invade them...

what reasons would china have to side with north Korea?
China is only communist in name only now (with a few exceptions). China enjoys a lot of good trading with the United states. They'd loose a lot of money if we cut that off (which would happen if there was a war.) china wants good relations with the US. i think Bush is thinking too much along the korean war times. |

I doubt the US will refuse support to Japan in any case. QUOTE what reasons would china have to side with north Korea? China is only communist in name only now (with a few exceptions).

China borders NK, and would get nervous if the US landed on NK soil. QUOTE most likely will. hmm....almost everyone in the middle east hates us...smart move Bush, smart move.

QUOTE yea your right china is economically booming right now and probably in a decade it will be more richer than japan cause china is such a huge country. I don't think so. China is essentially a super-socialist nation now. It'll be tough to keep double digit growth with the amount of control over the economy the government has. Ireland has been able to keep growing due to the fact that there is a really really low taxes and a really capitalist economy. Can China match this while remaining socialist? I don't think so. |
